Do not invest your money in forinvest they are sacm.
 
wow...erm...that was some serious trading...
That said, was it 7000 dollars of account balance profit, or 7000 dollars of margin profit?
If you want to know why I ask, I'll be happy to answer.
 
So they want you to pay money to collect a prize. And, the prize can't be withdrawn until you've traded 50 lots.

I would think that any taxes on the "prize" wouldn't become due until you have access to the prize money. At that point, they could pull the taxes from your account.

Of course, any taxes would be owed to YOUR government. Unless you are in the same country as ForInvests (which seems to have no country), they shouldn't be trying to collect tax money.

Ever gotten an email saying you've won some sort of lottery you never heard of. Reply, and you'll find that you need to send in a bunch of money and fees to collect it. Once you pay one fee, then there will be more and more fees. You'll pay forever and never get a single dollar in prize money. It sounds like ForInvests has decided to try out this style of fraud.
